. I Be it known that I, MAURICE H. Anni 1's, a

nois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in 'Ice-Oream.Mo1ds; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use thesame.

This invention relates to improvements in ing ice-cream compositions and similar delicacies, and has for its object'to provide a frozen product oi f a compound variegated and ornamental'character, as will be hereinafter set forth. By the means employed it is possible to produce a frozen mass presenting a pearance of} being separated by distinct division-lines, the product as a whole being one solid mass. I I

In the drawings, Figure 1 is avertical lon-- gitudinal section of a mold on line 1, Fig. 3, looking in the direction indicated by the ar-' row; Fig. 2, a broken-away vertical longitudinal section showing the drawing-plate in tive, of the product of the mold.

of different contours may be used. Each end removable cap a in order to facilitate the ejection of the contentsin one solid mass. The removable partition 13 consists of four wings centralcore b. This compound partition is in practice loosely inserted in the mold-receptacleand is-of a greater length, so as to Figs. 1 and 2. This prolongation or extension of the partition forms a handgrasp for cream of dilferent colors from liability of being mixed when filling the mold.

The form of partition shown divides the.

mold into four compartments (1, so as to percharged with frozen cream of a diiierent color and flavor. ,A partition maybe used having a greater or less number of wings than that shown, in accordance with the number of cole.

ors it may be desired to show in the product.

A drawing-plate 0, provided with a handle d, (shown broken away,) is'slotted, as at g, to permit of the passage therethrough of the extended endof thewingdeviceand permit the plate to set down closely onto the upper end of the mold, as shown in Fig. 2. Thisplate is placed in this position after the mold'has been filled and is held firm] y in place while the pan tition device is drawn out therethrough, thus-- 'mit offeach compartment beingwfilledor preventing any of the mixtnrefrom adhering to the partion While it is being withdrawn and leaving the adjacentsurfaees of the segmental cream-sections comparatively smooth and in good condition to unite and'form one solid.

mass, but preserving distinct lines it between each section or color, {is-illustrated in Fig. 5,

which shows the product as it appears when removed from the mold. I

in practice the cream is first frozen in the usual manner, the different colors being of course kept separate. Each compartment of the mold is then filled with cream of a different color, the partition or division device next withdrawn, the end of the mold capped capped ends removed, when the contents may riegatcd, homogeneous mass, yet each color being distinct from the other. The product is then ready to besliced and served, and presents a very pleasing and attractive appearance. I

It is obvious that by this process an endless variety of fanciful designs may be produced, not only in ice-cream, but also in puddi gs, jellies, and in the line of confections generally, and molded in either a warm or a cold condition. I

or closed, and then placed in afreezer and I subjected 'toa freezing'process, atter which the mold is take om oi the freezer and the a V be conveniently ejected in one compound, "a-

The wings of the compound partition may be corrugated or otherwise madeornamental instead of being plain,"as" sh6tiih.'

The partitions may be arranged in a-cylindrical form of a graduating diameter instead I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. The combination with a mold-receptacle, of a compound partition devioaloosely inserted therein and having one end projecting" therefrom, and a drawing-plate, adeptedto slip over the projecting part of the partition,

closing that end of the mold and allowing said partition to be Withdrawn tiieretlirough, substantially as described.

2. In an ice-cream mold, the combination with a mold-receptacle of a removable partition device, consisting of a number of wings, radiating from a' common oenter and adapted to divide said receptacle into a number of compartments, and a drawing-plate adapted to cover one end of the said receptacle and slotted to permit the removal of the said partition through it substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
